Frozen In Time

Frozen in time.
No longer I grow.
As age goes up,
Maturity says no.
Barely a teen.
This body isn't mine.
I don't understand.
Where was the time?
It thought by now,
Adult I would be.
I can't believe,
I'm twenty-three.
Finished school,
Got a career,
Got a new place,
Move myself here.
Student loans,
And bills too.
What's a child,
Supposed to do?
Friends marry,
Have a baby.
We're too young.
Don't you see?
Continue to age.
I'll be eighty-nine.
Still be a kid,
Frozen in time.
